Building a Stapler - Staple Cradle Pt1

Posted on October 17th, 2008 in Design Tutorial, Models, Sheet Metal, Stapler by The SW Geek

I know, I know… It’s been way too long since I have written an article for the stapler but I am going to make up for it today. Today we are going start a two part article on how to build the staple cradle of the stapler. I don’t know if it is really called that but it is the sheet metal part of the stapler that holds all the staples. I have done sheet metal parts on the SolidWorks Geek before but this time instead of creating a sheet metal part from native features, we are going to create a solid model that we will then add sheet metal bends to create the finished part. For this article, I am also trying a different approach to present the steps for this project to the readers, your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
